Modernization plans of French universities
During the 1990s and the 2000s, the French governments have launched the modernization plans of French universities (in French, plans de modernisation des universités françaises).[1]
Investments of the state had been important, especially for the development of new academic centers before and after May 1968. However, these two modernization plans have been more publicized.[2]
2000 University
This plan was adopted by the Council of Ministers on 23 May 1990. With initial funding of 32 billion of French francs over five years (1991-1995), it would increase the number of premises, while the number of students was increasing.[3] In 1994, operations were paid via the Contrat de projets État-région (Project contract state-region). The final funding was 40 billion francs (U2000 plan: 16.6; U2000 reported in CPER: 15.7, new operation in CPER: 8).[4]
This scheme has helped to build 3.5 million square meters of new buildings for higher education and research, including:
- Eight new universities,
- 196 departments of UIT and 24 full UIT,
- 7 European centers (become PRES).
University of the 3rd millennium
U3M plan, which combines state and local authorities, is a large-scale plan of the order of 50 billion of French francs.[5] It is part of an overall approach, the schema utility of higher education and research. Like its predecessor, this plan has been largely funded through the CPER 2000-2006 (42 billion francs).[6] It was more than build new premises but to rehabilitate the existing. A special effort was made to student life, 25% of the funding went to libraries, restaurants and dormitories.[7][8]
Campus Plan
The Campus Plan (in French, Plan campus), differs from the other two by at least two points:
- it concerns a limited number of campus;
- it is done with public-private partnerships.[9]
Large loan
Of the 35 billion euros of large loan,[10] 22 are for higher education and research. In particular:
- Excellence initiatives (initiatives d'excellence) : 7.7 billion
- Campus plan (Plan campus) receives 1.3 billion
- Equipment of Excellence (équipements d’excellence) receive 1 billion
- Laboratories of excellence (laboratoires d’excellence), 1 billion.
- Each of these programs is organized by a tender in which institutions must meet. The Campus du plateau de Saclay (Saclay campus) receives a billion of euros.
